TVR Taimar 3000, 1977 R Reg, Totally Original, For Sale

Beautiful and very retro and original colour combo, one of the very best. Black & Gold on Black. The interior is in good condition, with black seats, carpets, dash, and door cards, etc.
Plenty of power, 142bhp back in the day, with a top speed of 119mph, 0-60mph in 7.8 seconds and exotic looks and fantastic sounds. Not bad at all for a car which is over 40 years old from 1977. 2 seats and light weight, it was built to go like the clappers back in the day and now it is appreciating like the clappers!
MOT with no advisories, almost 10 months MOT left through to 30th August 2019.
Tax exempt, being now classed as a historic vehicle.

- Recently serviced, the full 12K service, tuned and given a good going over by a TVR Specialist (D&G Sports.)

- Electric Windows.

- "Sunshine Roof"
- Steering wheel reach / rake adjustment.

If you’re looking at this advert, I’m sure you know these are appreciating classics. This car is not perfect, but it is the right colour, it is reliable and mechanically sound, it has a MOT (even though it is not legally required to have one because it is over 40 years old), it has a solid chassis and it almost totally original, which is what investors want, so this car represents an excellent investment.
The car looks and sounds AMAZING and it attracts attention everywhere it goes, no doubt about that! Maximum smiles per mile, as with most TVR’s.
This car is very rare. Over its three-year production run, a total of only 395 normally aspired TVR Taimars were ever built. There are only 81 TVR Taimars left on the road in the UK and only 21 left from 1977. Most popular colours were blue, red and white, so when will you get another chance to buy an almost totally original black and gold period correct TVR Taimar 3,000?
